I`ve Got A Thing About Trains Lyrics

I get a sad kind of feeling

When I see a passenger train

In this fast movin' world we live in

Nobody rides them much these days



Oh, maybe I'm just sentimental

'Cause I know that things have to change

But I still like to go for a train ride

'Cause I've got a thing about trains



Train, train, train, you're out of place these days

But you've had your days of glory, train, train, train



Train, they say you're too slow for travelin'

But I'm gonna miss you some day

When my little boy says

"Daddy, what was it like to ride a train?"



I'll say it was a good way to travel

When things didn't move quite so fast

And I'm sorry that you can't ride one

But trains are the thing of the past



Train, train, train, you're fading from the scene

But I'm gonna mourn your passing, train, train, train



So if you're tired of people and buildings

Weary of worry and strain

Then you ought to go on a train ride

And look out the window at things



Go for a ride down to Memphis

The night train is still right on time

But I read in the papers this mornin'

Next week they're gonna take it off the line



Train, train, train, blow your whistle proudly and loud

As you roll to your place in history, train, train, train

I've got a thing about trains
